Frequently Asked Questions

What makes M390 steel different from other blade steels?

M390 is a premium stainless steel with high carbon content and added vanadium for superior edge retention. It stays sharp longer than standard stainless steels while maintaining excellent corrosion resistance for daily carry use.

Can the pocket clip be moved to different positions?

The Valet features a reversible tip-up clip that can be configured for left or right-hand carry. The clip position is tip-up only and cannot be changed to tip-down carry.

How does the AXIS lock mechanism work?

The AXIS lock uses a spring-loaded bar that moves forward and back to lock and unlock the blade. Pull the bar back with your thumb or finger to close the knife. This system works equally well for left and right-handed users.

Is this knife suitable for heavy-duty tasks?

The Valet is designed for everyday carry tasks rather than heavy-duty work. The 2.96-inch blade and lightweight construction make it ideal for office work, package opening, and general daily cutting needs.

Does the knife come with a sheath or carrying case?

No, the Valet does not include a sheath. It's designed for pocket carry using the included reversible pocket clip and features a lanyard hole for additional carry options.
